    Hey amlak,

     

     

    I understand that you're seeing an incorrect representation of the albums that you've synced from iPhoto to your iPad. This could be result of two separate issues. The first, and more likely, is an issue with the iPod Photo Cache that's generated within the iPhoto Library that you're syncing from.

    1. From Finder, choose Go > Home from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen. If you moved your Photos Library, iPhoto Library, or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location instead.
    2. Open the Pictures folder and locate the Photos Library, iPhoto Library, or Aperture Library file.
    3. Control- or right-click the file, and then choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
    4. In the window that opens, click on and drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash.
      Don't remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files might cause data loss.
    5. Close the window.

    If removing the iPod Photo Cache doesn't resolve the issue, the next step would be to rebuild your iPhoto Library, as there may be inconsistencies in its database.
